Baelo Claudia Roman ruins Andalucia

A small site compared with Pompei and Herculanean. Small is beautiful.The exhibits are mostly 1st Century AD. A few that caught my eye for you:

Above and below - lamp handles.

Headstone of a 68 year old lady:

Fishing hooks below. Baelo Claudia was one of the major Garum paste producers. Making the most of the spawning Tuna runs from the Atlantic into the Med'  they used massive nets, not hooks, to gather them.

Coinage, some bearing fish, cattle and wheat impressions:

The Forum

Veni,Vidi - Vomit? Vomitorium - 'to spew forth' - really just passages for the audience and actors to get in and out of the ampitheatre :O)
